If You Look Back Far Enough

If you look back far enough 

Out the rearview mirror

Through the forest gruff

Intentions seem insincere

 

Out the rearview mirror

Through the window behind you

Intentions seem insincere

Every emotion is misconstrued

 

Through the window behind you

On the road you can’t escape

Every emotion is misconstrued

On the changing landscape

 

On the road you can’t escape

It’s hard to remember things as they were

On the changing landscape

It’s so easy to be deterred

 

It’s hard to remember things as they were

Through the forest gruff

It’s so easy to be deterred

If you look back far enough
